Powerless

I'm sure those of us living in the States are aware of the widespread power outages and loss of running water occurring throughout the "Midwest" due to the onslaught of ice storms. President Obama did well by declaring it a national emergency and sending out teams to repair these utilities. My dear friend Amy was one of said victims. Thankfully I've been able to keep in touch with her over the phone. I was talking with her as her family discovered their water had been reactivated. I'm glad that that was the first thing attended to. People have lived for millenia (and some still do) without electricity, but no one ever lived very long without water.

Say a prayer for those involved.
